Heat Treatment |
The increase the service life of mould up to 800,000 times, you may harden the pre-hardened steel by means of quenching and low-temperature tempering. For quencing, firstly preheat for 2-4 hours under 500-600°C and then maintain the temperature at 850-880°C for a period of time (at least 2 hours). Put the steel into the oil for cooling 50-100°C and then remove it from the oil for air cooling. After quenching, the hardness may be high up to 50-52HRC. To avoid crack, please immediately carry out low-temperature tempering treatment at 200°C. After tempering, the hardness may be kept over 48HRC. |

Nitriding Treatment |
The nitriding treatment may be provide a surface structure of high hardness. After nitriding, the surface hardness may reach 650-700HV (approx, 57-60HRC) and the service life of the mold may be up to 1,000,000 times. The nitrided zone features in compact and smooth structure, while the parting property, resistance to wet air and resistanc to alkali corrosion will be highly enhanced for the mold. |
